For the rest he is content. to rely on the student bod�·. \\'hich he has fon1Hl opnlt�nt: in resource.

'l'hey a re fond of Bach, he has <liscovpred, after intilnat.e cont·act \Vi t h his nu1sic has erasell their traditional distrust of hi1n as a prolix, <lusty-1nindet1 old gentle1nan, gentcl�l but dull. Baeh, rhey kno\Y \\'ho have sung his choral nn1sic, is a:-;tonbhingly yonng. I·Ie is eontt�n1porary, a11d probably will be so nl\vays.

Lnst night the "SL )la t t hew Passion,'' greatest of the live passions, \\'US snug in the Fir:,;t: l\l. l�.

'rhose fan1iliar with the passion n1usic in its original fonn 1nay \\'OtH1er at t-l1e presence of a reader or narrator. 1-Ie take� the plnce of the tenor, to ,vhotn the recitatives ,vere giYcn which are re:ul hy Dr. E1ncrson. l)ifliculty in tinding a �iuger enpable and \Yilling to take this exacting part 1nach� it necessary for T\lr. Alexander to originate the iden of a nn rrator. I--Ie also has altered the score in other \vays to 1nnke it confor1n to n�oclern conditions and to his resources at the College. ..As given, for instance, at the Bach festival in Bc�thlehe1n, Pa., the St. ?\Iatthe,v Passion 1nusic tnkes four hours t'o sing.
